Jewellery Heists Rock Godinton – Police Hunt Crooks
Two daring burglaries struck the Godinton area in just over a week, leaving locals rattled and jewellery stolen.
Homes Raided Twice in Two Weeks
The first break-in happened on September 21 at 7.45pm. Thieves smashed their way into a home, ransacking the place and making off with precious jewellery.
Just days later, on September 30 between 1.20pm and 3.20pm, another Godinton property was targeted. Again, burglars grabbed jewellery before disappearing without a trace.
